PASTE BECEPTACLE.

Application filed October 8, 1921. Serial No. 508,412.

To all whomit may concern.

Be it known that L )iLiniirr Romans, a citizen of the United Fltates,residing at La Mesa Heights, in the county of San Diego and State ofCalifornia, have invented a certain new and useful Paste Receptacle, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a receptacle to be used in place of the ordinarypaste pot, bottle of paste or tube and provided with means in connectiontherewith for distributing the paste on the object to be pasted and theobjects of my invention are: first, to provide a receptacle of thisclass in which the paste will not harden for lack of moisture; second,to provide a receptacle of this class which will not leak; third, toprovide such a receptacle with means for distributing the paste asdesired without the necessity of using a brush or other unhandyappendages; fourth, to provide a receptacle of this class in which thepaste is spread in a thin sheet over the object to be pasted, by thereceptacle itself and fifth, to provide a device of this class which isvery simple and economical of construction, durable, easy to operate,eilicient in its action and which will not readily deteriorate or getout of order.

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter myinvention consists of certain novel features of construction combinationand arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter describedin detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters ofreference thereon which form a part of this application in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my paste receptacle; Fig. 2 is atop or plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a sectional view through 3-3 of Fig.1 and Fig. 1 is a longitudinal edge view of the diaphragm used forpressing the paste from the receptacle.

Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts and portionsthroughout the several views of the drawings.

The main body member 1, reinforcing clamps 2, top 3, diaphragm 4t, headmember 5, revoluble member 6 and staple member 7 constitute theprincipal parts and portions of my paste receptacle.

The body member 1 is preferably shaped as shown. The lower surface 1 isflat and it is provided centrally with a plug 1 therein which is adaptedto admit the paste into the receptacle. This body portion 1 ispreferably composed of thin metal, preferably aluminum. The upper edgeis provided with a groove 1 which is adapted to receive the outer edgeof the diaphragm at, the diaphragm being bent down over the portion 1and the extreme edge inserted in the groove 1". This diaphragm member 4it will be noted is thicker at the center at a and gradually taperstoward the edges. It will also be noted that it is thinner at the largeend and thickened toward the small end as shown best in Fig. 4 of thedrawings. so that when the pressure is brought to bear on the cover athe air between the cover 3 and the diaphragm t will cause saiddiaphragm to be depressed, naturally at the weakest point which would beat the large end of the receptacle, causing the paste to move out of thehole 1 at the small end and as it is compressed it will conform to theinside of the shape of the receptacle, beginning at the large end andgradually taking the form of the inside surface of said receptacle, thusremoving all the paste from the same from the large end toward thesmall. Secured over this diaphragm 4; is the cover 3 the edge of whichis also mounted in the groove 1. This cover 3 is provided on its topwith a dome-shaped portion 3 which is provided with a hole 3 therein foradmitting air into this dome-shaped portion and when the operatorpresses on the receptacle for removing the paste he puts his finger overthe hole 3". In order to support the members 3 and the edges of themembers 3 and 4 in the groove 1 the clamp members 2 are provided onopposite sides, the inner surfaces of which conform to the outer surfaceof the receptacle 1 and the two members are hinged together by means ofa hinge 2 at their one ends. These members 2 are provided with inwardlyturned edges 2* which are adapted to engage the edges of the members 3and 1 and press them tightly into the groove 1 thus providing a tightjoint between the members at and 3 and the receptacle 1. The other endsof said members 2 are supported by means of a ring 52 secured around theends of the body member 1 and over the small ends of the members 2. Atthe small ends of the body member 1 there is provided a neck 1 which isprovided with a central hole 1. This member is externally threaded andmounted upon the externally threaded portion is the head 5 which isshaped as shown best in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings; This head memberis cylindrical in form and closed at one end and flattened on one sideat 5* and the hollow portion is positioned so that it intersects theside 5 forming a narrow slot 5 and revolubly mounted in this hollowportion is another cylindrical member 6 which is provided with aconforming slot adapted to register with the slot 5 when the cylinder 6is turned in certain relative position thereto and with an opening onthe opposite side to register with the opening 1* in the small end ofthe member 1. Secured to this cylinder member 6 is an extended handlemember 6 which is adapted to facilitate the turning of said cylindermember 6 and in said cylinder member is provided a spring staple member7 which is adapted to provide friction to prevent the unauthorizedturning of the member 6 in the member 5 so that the slot in the cylindermember 6 registers with the slot in the member 5 but may be movedrelatively to the latter thereby changing the thickness of the exit.

Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combinationand arrangement oi parts and portions 1 do not wish to be limited tothis particular construction, combination and arrangement but desire toinclude in the scope of my invention the construction, combination andarrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

It is obvious that with this construction there is provided a pastereceptacle which is convenient for facilitating the distribution ofpaste; that when there is slight pressure on the upper surface of theresilient top the paste will be induced to move out through the narrowopening by reason of the air pressure between said top and the diaphragm5; that the thickness of the layer or" paste may be readily regulated;that the device is simple and durable; that the paste will not drytherein; that the device may be closed so that no paste will run and thepaste will not dry therein, it being contained within an air-tightchamber.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A paste receptacle, including a rigid body member, a resilient toptherefor, provided with an air inlet hole, a diaphragm between said topand said body portion and an. outlet in connection with said bodyportion.

2. In a paste receptacle, the combination of a rigid body member, aresilient top therefor, provided with an air inlet hole in said top,side pieces for reinforcing said body portions, an elastic diaphragmbetween said top and said body portions, and an outlettr-om said bodyportion.

3. In a paste receptacle, the combination of a rigid body member, aresilient top therefor, provided. with an air inlet hole in said top,side pieces for reinforcing said body portions and sealing the edges ofsaid top, a resilient movable elastic diaphragm between said top andsaid body portions, means for holding the edges of said diaphragm incertain relative position to said body portions and an outlet for saidbody portions.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego,California this 19th day of September 1921.

ALBERT ROGERS.
